We are letting our 23 chickens out for free range time but our property isn't fenced and is three acres. How far do chickens generally wander? They are a mixed flock of Buff Orpingtons, Australorps, Barred Rocks, RIRs and Ameracanas. They are 16 weeks old and not yet laying. So far, I have been sitting out with them and "herding" them a bit but worry about them wandering too far.
